Coast Modern

Coast Modern is on a creative tear, making so much new music that they can’t even keep track of what they’ve recorded. Regarding their newest release, a cover of MGMT‘s classic “Electric Feel,” the duo of Luke Atlas and Coleman Trapp says, “Honestly we don’t remember making this. A few days ago the mastered file mysteriously appeared in our inbox.” Though the story behind its creation is hazy, the cover does the original justice while adding a distinctly Coast Modern twist. Writes Earmilk, “The song starts with some smooth crooning, and evolves by the chorus into a full on electro-pop extravaganza. The vibe is upbeat, warm, and perfect for prepping for the soon to arrive spring months.” The song was released last week and is currently featured on Spotify’s New Music Friday and Alternative Beats playlists.

This is the band’s first single of 2018, and it follows a tremendously successful 2017 for Coast Modern that saw a nationwide tour and the release of a debut LP that peaked in the Top 15 at NACC. The band has built a huge online following, accumulating truly massive streaming totals and penetrating playlists across platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. They’re currently on tour:
